Data Quality Review and Assessment – Commonwealth Superannuation Schemes

The objective of the Data Quality Project is to assess, and as required, improve the quality and stability of the member superannuation data within the schemes such that the Commonwealth, and in particular ComSuper, can be assured that existing and future data quality is not a root cause of material service quality issues, regulatory breaches and/or costs due to rework and/or manual intervention and processing (the Data Quality Project objective).

The approach to the Data Quality Project will be staged.
Stage 1 will involve reviewing and documenting the current
issues around data received, held and disseminated by
ComSuper, together with the development of a strategy to
prioritise and address those issues. The outcome of Stage 1 will inform the implementation stage (Stage 2) of the Data Quality Project.

This RFT relates to Stage 1 of the Data Quality Project.

Data Quality Adviser will be required to review and assess the member superannuation data in relation to the administration of the Commonwealth’s superannuation schemes, in order to:

• compile a Data Quality (DQ) issues catalogue and, where issues exist, to describe and quantify the root cause and to document their impact(s) on the administration of the Schemes;

• prioritise the issues contained in the catalogue in terms of the impact they are having on the business; and

• propose rectification strategies for each of the issues identified, by way of a comprehensive project plan.
